The Tennessee House of Representatives has passed a bill that would make the juvenile records of deceased school shooters publicly accessible.
This legislation comes in response to a recent deadly shooting at Antioch High School. Supporters argue that transparency is necessary for public safety and policy-making, while critics worry about privacy concerns and unintended consequences. Additionally, other juvenile justice reforms, including a $75 million effort to integrate court systems, are advancing in the state legislature.
Some judges have expressed concerns that these changes could create backlogs and limit court efficiency.
